During minimally invasive hammertoe surgery, Dr. Ramos makes very small incisions. Therefore, you experience significantly less healing time and minimal scarring compared to traditional surgery. Furthermore, the procedure uses local anesthesia, so you stay awake and comfortable throughout. In addition, minimally invasive hammertoe surgery carries much lower risks than conventional open surgery. As a result, most patients return to their normal daily activities much sooner than they would after traditional hammertoe surgery.

Dr. Ramos routinely performs hammertoe surgery right in our minimally invasive surgery suite at our office. However, some complex cases may still require a hospital setting. Hammertoe develops for many different reasons. For example, foot mechanics, walking gait, poorly fitting shoes, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, foot trauma, heredity, and stroke can all contribute to the condition. Common symptoms include pain, reduced toe mobility, deformities, calluses, and corns. Therefore, if you notice any of these signs, contact Dr. Ramos right away for an evaluation.
For serious cases where the toes have become rigid and inflexible, surgery is often the most effective solution. During the procedure, Dr. Ramos realigns the tendons and bones to straighten the toes and relieve pressure. As a result, patients experience significant pain relief and restored mobility. Furthermore, because the surgery is minimally invasive, recovery is faster and less painful than traditional hammertoe surgery.
